The Green Turtle

Green Turtle Tavern is a cute little place in the heart of "downtown" Fernandina Beach.  The ambiance is adorable and inviting, with the appropriate green light on the porch.  It's tiny inside, with a couple of cute adirondack-style chairs and the rest of the seating is all at the bar.

My friend and I came here in search of good beer (hard to find on this little island!) and only had one here - all they had in the "craft beer" selection was Sierra Nevada.  My friend ordered food, but then when we discovered a mini-brewpub down the street (thanks to Yelp!) she decided to cancel her order.  Ten minutes after she'd placed her order, they hadn't even started to make her food.

If you want a dive bar, this might be your place.  But it's just your average bar.

This was a fun place!!  We heard the music and stopped in.  The bartender was super friendly as were the people around the bar.   We went outside to listen to the bad and my only complaint (as always) was the number of smokers.  I absolutely hate cigarette smoke - ick.  

We played some ping-pong and danced around to some music which was great fun.

LOVE the Green Turtle!  Perfect Key West sort of place.  Super laid back and friendly bartender.  Will be back the next time I am in town!
